Great spring break stay
The host thought about everything to make sure they stay was amazing! Instructions and referrals are left for families to have the best time and see as many things as possible during your stay. The house was very clean and stocked fully for any meals you make have planned. 10 out of 10 for us and we want to visit again.

Beautifully maintained, decorated, and stocked, the Upper Deck is a wonderful and unique property!!
We all had a fantastic stay at the Upper Deck! Without reservation, we recommend staying here. All the comforts of home, close proximity to restaurants, stores, bars, and the river, you’d be hard pressed to find a better location and property! Thanks to the owner for creating such a stellar vacation getaway home. Excellent!!!

Awesome customer service!
Nadeen was the best host I have ever dealt with. We called with a question about life jackets and she answered several other questions for us and sent pictures of the ramp and how to get to monkey island. House was well stocked with paper products and kitchen items. We were only ther for 2 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Disappointing with descriptions
Place was listed with boat ramp, but there was no dock or place to tie your boat up when using the ramp, and it could use some work. Also, description said you could keep your boat in the cove nearby, and it had rocks, and was mucky. So, it turned out unusable for us.

Exceptional Amenities at the "no amenity" price!!!!!
We had 4 days free at the first of our holiday and always wanted to explore this part of Florida. Boy are we glad we stumbled upon the Upper Deck!!! The kitschy, nautical theme fits with the community & the place lacks for absolutely nothing. I have stayed in VRBO properties all over the world and have never had so many amenities provided from the fully stocked cupboards to the plethora of water-sport activities (kayaks, paddle-boards, rafts, coolers, bug spray). We took full advantage of the water sport activities and had some awesome Manatee encounters - magnificent creatures and they were everywhere!!! The upstairs deck was a great place to wind down in front of the fire every night and provides beautiful views. Nadeene was the consummate host, always quick to answer texts/emails, and gave great advice when asked. If we ever come back, this will be the first place we look!!

A fun place to be!
From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew it was going to be a great place. Filled with a nautical and beach theme throughout, we appreciated every detail the owners put into it. From directions to everything close by, to how to operate the TV, we had a stress free stay. We highly recommend this place and would love to go back!

Great place to scallop!
Absolutely great place to scallop! Location was awesome and convenient. The boat ramp is a bit tight. If you go with just two people both need to know how to launch the boat and get the truck and trailer back. The neighborhood is tight so be accurate. The owners were amazing and checked in with us prior and post stay. Will definitely go back!

Our stay was awesome. The property was very clean and relaxing. Nadeene was very accommodating to making sure you had everything you needed. We came to scallop and the boat ramp was a plus. Being so close to the springs made in nice to take the grandkids for a swim. Would 100% recommend this place and would stay again. Thanks for making our family vacation wonderful 🚤🐬🦀🐫🧜‍♀️
